I plastic cutting board works well as a base for the laptop and keeps
the bed covers and/or pants legs from covering the intake vents. One
other thing that helps is an extended battery pack that hangs down. It
will lift the laptop up another 1/2 inch or so allowing the vent to work
even better.
I still miss the keyboard on my old Wyse-75 terminal. It had a
flip-down bar along the back length. I could keep it "hooked" over my
knees and type away in an extreme slouch position with feet on the
desk. Too bad laptops need their bottom vents open.
Ob-fedora: /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed be sure to add the following to help
keep the laptop from being damaged if the vents do get covered.
OPTS="$OPTS -t /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature 50"
